It's been like two months now since I wanted to decide to plunge for a Watercooling kit. Right now, I'm seriously considering the Swiftech H20-220 Compact Kit as my first w/c kit. Is it worth considering? Since I want to either keep my current overclocking temps down or push the processor further. Right now it's idling at 38c and loads at 54c at 28 ambient.
I also would like to consider if there's any additional upgrades that could make the kit (H20-220 Compact Kit) do better temps, like better block or rads for instance? All I can think for now is probarbly upgrade the rad but still using the integrated pump+block for the kit but then I should be looking for a reservoir and if I chosed that option. If I would choose a new block then probarbly be looking out for a pump aswell. Also with that said, I'm not too sure which pump should I consider choosing.
Note that I also plan to consider watercooling my VGA or possibly my Chipset aswell. It's for my current motherboard, or even for my future rigs.
I know it is better off with custom watercooling kit, but I would like to know by which part if I should upgrade, gives the better performance, etc. I do have a custom watercooling kit list in mind, but I'm not sure if it's even a good combination. But it's a little bit out of my budget. I'm considering $250-$300 USD.
Or lastly, maybe I should go simple and end up getting the Compact Kit instead? I do want to get the best bang of the buck I could when setting up the wc-kit. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
